If you visit here: http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/ I think you will get your problems sorted out in short order. Looks like by the driver device your using a linux OS. There are a few considerations but I think they are covered on the Miklor site.

Hello,
I just purchase a UV-5R+ and was trying to program it. I'm using the chirp-daily respository version.
USB Cable: : Prolific Technology Inc. pl2303 3-2:1.0: pl2303 device: /dev/ttyUSB0 UV-5R+ Firmware: BFB297 (as reported via power-on)
I get the typical unable to connect to radio, but when it is trying to clone I see on the HT the "Welcome...." message and then I get the timeout message.
As for the cable, it does seem to be full seated. I have pressed and held the plug in to make sure and get the same results.
First is there a debug mode I can turn on to capture the hand shake between the computer and the UV-5R+. I figure this would help the list.
